MGSV is September 1st

Pretty much confirms the earlier leak that the game is done and ready to be released in June (like MGS4 was), but they're sitting on it until September because they think they'll sell better in the fall. Arghhhhhh.
I know it's just a a game and it's just 3 months but METAL GEAR IS MY FAVORITE GAME EVER, GROUND ZEROES WAS AMAZING AND I WANT TPP NOW ;_;

yeah it sucks that this just happened to start on these two games, which I've been anticipating for a while. $15 is day 1 territory, $20 is PS+ territory because every single indie game I've ever bought has become PS+.

EA shuts down Maxis' main studio. Sims now being handled by 'The Sims Studio'.

I don't suspect they were likely to return to the great days of Sim Ant, but still... Also a lil cheeky to kill them while GDC is going on.

I bought the Imperial Fist DLC, fired up the first mission, then asked myself what the hell I was doing with my life.

@ ‘da Vine

Hasn’t SIMS been handled by The Sims’ Studio since, like, 10 years ago? Maxis has not been a going concern since Will Wright left to do his own thing.

Yeah, they got spun off a long time ago. Sim City was basically Maxis-prosper last chance to make something happened and they screwed it up royally.

Watched the rest of the Halo Nightfall series you get when you purchase The master chief collection.

The first two episodes are average or slightly below average. And if it had been able to keep up that pace, it would have been an okay b grade sort of thing. The last 3 or 4 episodes though are god damn awful and it makes the whole experience dreadful. I found myself slipping into mst3k style commentating and I was watching it alone.

i don't know him but i agree. i'm constantly bombarded by hot chicks every day*, so average 5/10s seem exotic.

what in THEE FUCK is going on with 3ds game prices? I'm looking on Amazon and anything remotely interesting is over $40-for a fucking used copy. I know star fox 64 isn't some hard to find collectible so why is it going for eighty fuckin dollars?? is this inflation bc of the new 3ds release or has it always been this bad?

tiesto · « **Reply #14861 on:** March 14, 2015, 01:42:06 AM »

Collector's market is huge on Nintendo lately... N64 and GC games are even going up to ridiculous prices, guy at the local game store told me that his best selling stuff is the N64/Cube stuff of all things.

tiesto · « **Reply #14863 on:** March 14, 2015, 01:50:47 AM »

Not too sure, as most of the GBA games I see in the wild are shitty loose licensed games. I do know Ninja Five-0 is extremely rare, if you have that cib it's worth like $200 (I'm so glad I grabbed one!). And I'm sure the Nintendo games cib have held their value fairly well, Zelda LTTP cib is going for $80 on amazon for instance. And the Castlevanias are definitely getting up there.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #14864 on:** March 14, 2015, 06:47:21 AM »

I think Nintendo likes digital sales so much that they've stopped print runs on a number of their games.

These days, if there is a Nintendo game you might be interested in, it's better to buy now. You can always sell it later if you decide you don't want to play it and you can probably make a profit selling it.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #14865 on:** March 14, 2015, 06:55:17 AM »

given that all of their digital titles are still full price close to it, you're prolly right

kick51 · « **Reply #14866 on:** March 14, 2015, 10:24:22 AM »

complete GBA games are pretty highly valued, since tons of cart only games are bootlegs. The box + manual are kinda like proof it isn't a knock off. also, nobody saved the boxes because they're sort of flimsy cardboard. Lots of gamestops didn't take the boxes and eventually all of them got ordered to destroy the boxed used GBA games.

*remembers when gamequestdirect had a fire sale on Ninja Five-O for $20 new*

they have sold for $850 new on ebay recently. just needed to buy them and hold out for 10-ish years lol

The only GBA game I held on to was my cart only copy of Pinball Of The Dead!

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #14867 on:** March 14, 2015, 03:33:43 PM »

The best time to buy these games will be 2-3 years from now when hipsters decide to move onto a new craze and dump their game collections for pennies on the dollar.

Garbage. Complete garbage. A game that dosen't know what it want's to be, but unfortunately thinks it has to emulate CoD. Small narrow map design made in order to funnel players into action. Cover based gameplay that takes away all tension and careful planning of player movement. Terrible progression system.

It's quite sad that Advanced Warfare feels more futuristic then FS thanks to the player camera.

It's pretty much a generic tps.

Bebpo · « **Reply #14871 on:** March 16, 2015, 12:18:19 AM »

Too late, bought it for $5 'cause demi said yay. Will see for myself. Sad to hear all that though. Advanced Warfare was one of the best early X360 games. Really memorable.

So we're getting some new furniture to replace old one, severely limiting the amount of space I'll have for my physical game collection. I came to terms with never playing these games again a while back, so I'm looking to sell/get rid of most of them. Was wondering if some of you folks would be interested in 'em before I start ebay'ing the big ticket games away. Putting it under spoilers so it doesn't take up as much room.

I'll PM you details tomorrow. Skies is in playable condition (I 100%'d this very disc) and complete, but the box itself is a bit dirty and the front of the disc has these weird lines on it. Can take and send pictures tomorrow if you want.

Edit: I'll set some stuff up tomorrow once I'm done with classwork and take pictures of the stuff you guys have mentioned. I'm willing to toss in some of the lesser priced games for free since I'm gonna be paying flat rate shipping anyway.

I think pricecharting takes the average of completed listings, but you should definitely double check for yourself. Most JRPG fetch a good value.

Yeah, I'm not just using their loose value. I'm going to all the individual sites and checking the prices myself. I had no idea Mega Man 1 NES went for so much, I paid like $10 for this cart years ago.
